Can anyone tell me why he wears a black sleeve on his left arm? Have I missed something?

On AFL360 he said it was to give a little bit of protection to the arm and the scarring caused by a serious post-op infection. Probably helps him mentally as well given the serious nature of the break and the wound suffered.  Impressive by him to come back as he has.

    the Pies are winning based on system. They have some average players out there. 

    How good was it to see Cox crack the naannies on the bench?

    Moore 8 clangers!

    JB said they're coming off a 6 day break, they are coming back from Adelaide, not Perth or Darwin. it's a 30 minute flight.

    They were just outplayed tonight 

    Have you tried to catch a domestic flight lately? I reckon you’d spend 3 hours on a plane to fly from tulla to Essendon !

    How about the peanut who obviously has way to much money and dropped a mill on the pies to win weeks ago to get back 400k. Who's laughing now

    I thought the Pies were slightly off their game from the first bounce.

    Sidebottom was moving like a glacier.

    And De Goooooey, terrible disposal and couldn't break the tackle of an auskicker

    Are they tiring? There last 3 rounds are tough games. Hopefully they cop a few injuries and get bundled out in straight sets…..the only thing better than that is us winning the flag. In fact the trifecta is the Pies going out, us winning and then getting Harley Reid. Can you imagine the celebrations? I mean seriously, that’s a life changing chain of events. Anything after that is of little consequence.

    So, can I be first to declare the opening of Colliwobble season?

    Bit early this year, but climate change is messing up all of these natural cycles.

    If there was any side that could have outbrownnosed Collingwood it would have to have been Carlton.

    Do frees against count as clangers? Moore gave away a few frees in the last.

    C'mon man.
    They were on fire early.
    Marking everything in the F50 and kicked 2.2 before Carlton scored.

    Also got a few doggy frees which helped. UMPIRE ALERT. Watch for #23. Some weird interpretations.

    I really don't want Power to win the minor premiership. 

    Were Pies fatigued last night or are Carlton a good side. Was their Power win legit or did Power rest too many players?

    They have had some soft opposition of late but they did look good last night. They have a good run home from here too.

    No chance port will finish top.  

    Tough game tonight, cats at kp next week.

    Easy last three games, but they are effectively 3 games behind the pies - 8 points plus 20 odd percentage. 

    Even if they don't lose another game, pies would have to drop 3 of their last 4 games.

    Don't think it will be a tough game for them tonite. No Rankine or Roshellli for the crows is a huge loss.

    What's going on in the Geelong - Freo game? Not free-to-air where I am, and I just flicked through stats and noticed 15 hit-outs already - on target for about 150 for the game!

    Is that that much of a slog down there?

    I won't be watching it again though.

    Geelong is not playing with the urgency of a team fighting for a spot in the 8.

    Mooney keeps saying someone’s out of the game with HIA. WTF is that?

    google tells me hiatus hernia but i have my doubts!

    Cats defence is amateur. Freo cutting through with ease. 

    screw draft picks, would love the Cats to miss finals!

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
